Printplace Review

This is some impressive coverage, and will impact positively on shipping time and cost - well, that's the theory anyway!

For such a large producer, you'd expect printplace to perform reliably and benefit from economies of scale, thus pushing down prices. They offer the full range of printed materials, from standard flyers to stickers and fridge magnets.
Printplace delivered my batch of 50 calendars pretty much on time, which I was not expecting as I have had some bad experiences in the past with other large printing companies.
I'd give the printing quality a 4.5 out of 5 as it was very good, but it didn't blow my socks off. However, considering that my design was very technical and detailed (these were highly intricate auto-based calendars for a specialist client of mine), I could not complain.
Considering the fact that I got a pretty big coupon discount as-well, i am quite prepared to say that I had a good first time experience with printplace. I prefer them to Vistaprint, but then again i only used them once so far!
Oh mein printen ge-schlaffen!
